if you just take what speaker boehner said yesterday, grover's in trouble. he said i'm putting revenue on the table. no one has been able to say that definitively and get away with it and move forward with actually putting revenue on the table in the form of tax spending. just in louisiana, we spend $3 billion in tax spending alone. you know, there's an obsession from my governor's perspective with spending just on the tax side and corporate welfare. >> speaking of your governor, he's also my governor. as soon as we come back, i have got a letter to my governor. you all know you love my dears. mine is to dear bobby jindal when we come back. ah. fire bad! just have to fire roast these tomatoes. this is going to give you a head start on your dinner. that seems easier [ female announcer ] new progresso recipe starters. five delicious cooking sauces you combine with fresh ingredients to make amazing home-cooked meals. to make amazing sfx- "sounds of african drum and flute" look who's back. again? it's embarrassing it's embarrassing! we can see you carl. we can t

even the president's political nemesis, john boehner, knows that to be true. >> you had said next year that you would repeal the health care vote. that still your mission? >> i think the election changes that. it's pretty clear that the president was re-elected, obama care is the law of the land. >> now, of course, boehner promptly walked those comments back later that day. that doesn't make what he said any less of a fact. central to the implementation of that law is the creation of health care exchanges. now, let me explain. these aca exchanges are online marketplaces. in short, websites. the idea is to force insurance companies to play by the same rules and compete for a large pool of customers resulting in less expensive premiums for everyone. here's how it works. let's say you're one of the 50 million people in in country without health care. you're looking to get yourself covered. you'd log on to your state's exchange or call a hotline number. the goal is to shop around for whatever plan works best for you and your family. if you are living at 138% to 400% of the poverty line, th
